Valdisere

It is both a pleasure and a privilege to have a series of work exhibited in the Pro Shop of the 5-star Hotel Les Barmes de l’Ours all winter long.
Be sure to go and take a look as Polo, the director of the shop, will be happy to see you and answer any questions you may have.

All the prints are for sale, do feel free to contact me if you would like any further information regarding prices, sizes, framing, paper, mounting or finishing…

Here are some photos I shot for Ski Gallery & Fondue Factory, a new Concept of Restaurant & Brewhouse in the main street of Val d’Isère.
Come experience the delicious fondues & other specialities, in the middle of an exceptional collection of skis, bindings & ski boots covering about 100 years of ski!

Here is a print I have made for a client with a custom framing.
The panorama has been printed onto a Matte Fine Art paper, then laminated onto a Dibond panel, itself fixed on an other panel to highlight the photo.

A couple of weeks ago, I went for an early hike above Val d’Isère to reach the top the Bellevarde. Here are a few shots I took of the Grande Motte, Grande Casse, and Sana just before and after the sunrise.

The paper is a high quality Matt FineArt Paper 100% coton, (my favorite one) for an impressive pictorial depth on a fine and really smooth surface.
I also use a spray to protect and seal the print against fingerprints, scratches, lights. The intensity and the high brilliance of the colours stay permanently.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to go to the Hotel Restaurant l’Avancher yet, here are my prints that are displayed in their dining room.
Just to remind you, all the prints are for sale in the size that you see in the restaurant, as well as in smaller sizes with different mount, and various framing options…
If you would like a quote, or if you have a special request, please send me an email with the description of the photo, and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Last Tuesday was one of those days when you really don’t want to go skiing because the weather looks so bad from the village. After much deliberation I decided to go for a few runs.
As soon as we reached the Glacier of Pissaillas, we knew that we had made the right choice. We had got above the thick layer of clouds that was covering much of the valley. I was looking at one the most beautiful “Sea of Clouds” that you can imagine, something that I did not think possible from Val d’Isere village. I feel really lucky to have been there that day because the view was absolutely spectacular!
The mountain tops looked like icebergs or islands rising up from the ocean of clouds that seemed to go on forever.
Here are a few of the pictures that I took that day!

A French TV channel contacted me about a month ago to use the time-lapse I have made for the 20th anniversary of the 1992 Winter Olympic Games in Val d’Isère.
If you watched TV last week, it was a couple of times on D8 and also D17 for a program called “Le grand zapping de l’année”.
The full program is on replay for only a few days on D17 website. You can see the time-lapse at 32’53 or in the clip just below.

I wanted to share with you a few prints I have made for a private client in a Val d’Isère apartment.
This is just a small sample of what is possible. I am working very closely with the printer TiragesPro and framer André Lacoste.
All of the photos for this client are Dibond prints (very light and rigid composite panel with a core of polyethylene sandwiched between two sheets of aluminium) and protected with a spray.
